Top Ten Favorite Villains In Literature

As always, Top Ten Tuesday meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is: All About The Villains. I decided to list my favorite villains because good villains make a book 10 times better. In no particular order:

1.Professor Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes)Napoleon of Crime. Arch-nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. One of the few who actually rivaled Sherlock’s intellectual capacity.

2. The White Witch (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe)She killed Christmas. She banished all sense of happiness and hope. She turns her enemies into stone.

3. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter)Or ‘He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’. What would Harry Potter be without him.

We have a lot of the same villains on our list! I really love Moriarty! I think Moriarty really gained his reputation as an awesome villain in the adaptation rather than the original stories. I mean the guy barely had any screen time in the original story.
